What else should people know about your site:
The Cecil Times provides independent reporting and commentary for Cecil County, MD and the Eastern Shore. The area is largely ignored by larger legacy media in Baltimore, MD and nearby Wilmington, DE. A 5-day local print newspaper, The Cecil Whig, was acquired by foreign ownership and slashed local staff and coverage, while putting up a subscription paywall online.
Only The Cecil Times provides free, online-only news to the growing Cecil County community (100,000+ population) and the broader upper Eastern shore region. We cover what is NOT getting covered elsewhere and routinely publish special reports, political news coverage and exclusive investigative reports.
What are your suggestions and/or links to other community news sites that should be added to the directory?
